This coincidence made it possible for him to take courses in waterproofing in University of Madrid Spain, Aarhus Denmark and Lyon France in the 1950s.

Due Cancer disease in the rest of his life, some were sold to pay the costs of medicine and treatment, but the rest of entire collection was bought by Lia Maria Aguiar foundation, daughter of Bradesco Bank Amador Aguiar founder, who constructed a car museum with restoration school at Campos do Jordão and transferred the collection to there for future generations' appreciation.
